Background: Primary non Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) of the cervix and vagina is uncommon; the incidence of uterine lymphoma is estimated to be less than 0.5% of all NHL. Patients regularly present with vaginal bleeding. The diagnosis is made on biopsy but this can be difficult on small samples which may not be representative of the lesion. Immunohistochemical analysis and often molecular techniques are required to confirm the diagnosis.
Cases: We report two cases of primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the cervix. In the first case, the diagnosis could only be made on repeat biopsies. The second case presented as a cervical polyp.
Conclusion: Gynecologists should be aware of this rare clinical entity in order to apply the proper treatment.

Intravascular accumulation of atypical large lymphoid cells is a rare condition that necessitates a differential diagnosis of intravascular lymphoma (IVL). Recently, a non-neoplastic condition known as benign atypical intravascular CD30+ T-cell proliferation (BAITP) has been identified. This condition is characterized by CD30+ and CD3+ or CD4+ atypical T-cells and is often associated with trauma and chronic inflammation.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the occurrence of synchronous or metachronous hematologic and gynecologic malignancies. The medical database of the pathology department at a tertiary center was searched from 2016 to 2024 for cases involving both hematologic and gynecologic tumors. A literature search using Google Scholar and PubMed was also conducted between May and June 2024.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates cancer incidence trends from 2008-2017 in Italy among individuals aged 20-49, utilizing data from 20 cancer registries that cover about one-third of the population.
- Results show that cancer rates were nearly double for women compared to men, particularly due to breast and thyroid cancers, with significant variations in incidence trends across different cancer types.
- The findings indicate no consistent increase for early-onset cancers in Italy, with rising rates for some cancers offset by declines in others, underscoring the need for preventive measures and careful screening strategies.

Lymphoma encompasses a range of cancers originating in the lymphatic system, categorized into Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Hodgkin lymphoma classically present as nodal disease, whereas non-Hodgkin lymphoma tends to involve extranodal regions. While it can be part of a systemic lymphoma, isolated nodal involvement is not uncommon.

Article Synopsis
- Mesenteric panniculitis (MP) is a rare and generally non-serious condition affecting the mesenteric root, potentially linked to certain cancers.
- A study analyzed PET/CT scans from January 2008 to December 2019 to find how common MP was in patients with various cancers, excluding those with previous treatments or multiple cancers.
- Results showed that 5.3% of oncologic patients had MP, with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (15.9%) and prostate cancer (11.9%) being the most associated types, while others like Hodgkin lymphoma and cervical cancer showed no cases.
